To mark this watershed in numismatic history the Royal Mint has issued a limited edition Silver Proof Emblems of Britain Collection featuring the classic designs that have in most cases served Britain for more than 35 years.

The seven 2008dated coins are struck from 92.

5 pure silver in proof quality.

Arnold Machins specially commissioned decimal portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of each coin.

No more than 10000 Silver Proof Collections will ever be produced.

The Silver Proof Collection is housed in a blackleathereffect case which comes with an informative booklet about the coin designs and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Deputy Master of the Royal Mint
